** NOTE: Tom Swift has been charming children since he first appeared in 1910 as a literary character. Tom, created by Edward Stratemeyer aka Victor Appleton, appears in adventure novels emphasizing science, technology and invention. The writer - who made our hero come alive on the page so he could live in our hearts - used adverbs to invent a style comedy writers call Tom Swifties. This week, Nancy Jo is paying tribute to Tom Swift.

"What? You don't like your haircut," the hairdresser said cuttingly.

"Get that dog out of my house," mom said bitingly.

"There needs to be more spice in these cookies," the baker said gingerly.

"I'll sit out this inning," the ball player said sportingly.

"I saw this coming, but I'm still sad economics are causing me to close my practice," the opthalmologist said tearfully.

"I bought the most beautiful dress for my wedding," the bride said engagingly.

"Don't take so many steps before you roll the ball," the bowling instructor said sparingly.

"I want to cast a spell on him," the Wicca member said bewitchingly.

"I hate this job," the dogcatcher said bitingly.

"This wall would look good painted green," the decorator said colorfully.

"This week, Nancy Jo was a few hours late in writing and posting her blog," Tom said Swiftly.
